- An adult takes about 12 breaths per minute, inhaling roughly 500 mL of air with each breath. The molar compositions of the inspired and expired gases are as follows: Species Inspired Gas (%) Expired Gas (%)O2 20.6 15.1CO2 0.0 3.7N2 77.4 75.0H2O 2.0 6.2The inspired gas is at 24°C and 1 atm, and the expired gas is at body temperature and pressure (37°C and 1 atm). Nitrogen is not transported into or out of the blood in the lungs. All nitrogen inhaled is exhaled. 1. Calculate the masses of O2, CO2, and H2O transferred from the pulmonary gases to the blood or vice versa (specify which) per minute. 2. Calculate the volume of air exhaled per milliliter inhaled. 3. At what rate (g/min) is this individual losing weight by merely breathing?arrow_forwardWhen copper and sulfur react, two products are possible: copper(I) sulfide, Cu2S, and copper(II) sulfide, CuS. A scientist hypothesizes that holding a loop of thin copper wire in the vapour from boiling sulfur will produce pure Cu2S when the copper and sulfur react. Suggest what measurements, related to mole ratios, the scientist should make to test this hypothesis.arrow_forwardPalladium is named after the asteroid Pallas, forms a gaseous compound of the formula Pd(CO)x What is the value of x given the fact that under the same conditions of temperature and pressure, methane (CH4) ?effuses 4.1 times faster than the compoundarrow_forward

Indeed, both elements form molecules with two hydrogen atoms, water (H2O) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Surprisingly, at room temperature, water is a liquid, yet H2S is a gas, despite sulfur being much larger and heavier than oxygen. Explain why this might be the case.arrow_forward
